Part One: Reading Comprehension (9 points)
Read the paragraph, and answer the following questions:
28 Jordan depends a lot on foreign energy resources. Ninety-six percent of the country’s energy comes from oil and natural gas imported from neighbouring Arab countries. Because of this dependence on other countries, Jordan has invested in research projects to identify alternative sources of energy.
At the moment, imported natural gas is used to fulfil the country’s energy needs and to generate electricity. However, a recent discovery of natural gas in Jordan means that, in the future, less natural gas will need to be imported.
Oil shale rock has also been found in abundant amounts in Jordan, most notably in the west central area.
Shale oil can be produced from this type of sedimentary rock. It is a substitute for crude oil, but the extraction process for shale oil is more expensive. The process is also quite dangerous and produces a lot of waste product. At the moment, no shale oil industry exists in Jordan, but several companies are considering using it to generate thermal power.
Nuclear power holds hope for Jordan’s future energy supply. Plans are in place to construct two nuclear reactors which will double the country’s electricity generation capacity. Jordan plans to get 60 per cent of its energy needs from nuclear energy by 2035 CE.
